The speedy blue isn't a prototype, the milling is in line with others. There's five versions that I have been able to locate, the rarest being the squared off lines that were done by hand. The one that I had with squared milling was claimed to be the first eclipse angel made with an angel serial of 0042, no more than five with this milling was made according to Jack Wood.

hmmm. ok, I guess I was responding to these 2 elements in the milling (pics below), along with the eclipse 'tag' at the bottom where the asa goes, and the professionally shortened barrel, which all led me to think that it was at least a 'booth' gun they brought around to show off their products, and at most some form of prototype...

its hard to see, but I have never seen these 2 smalls additional cuts...
